Meet Our Student President

Shalom and welcome to McMaster Hillel!

I am the Hillel President for 2017-2018, and I am going into my fourth year in the Bachelor of HealthSciences program. With energy levels as high as an El Al flight, Hillel will continue to strengthen the Jewish community at McMaster and provide inclusive and educational programming.

I plan to focus on internal educational events, including topics about Jewish and Israeli history, politics, philosophy, and values that can enrich our busy lives. I will also work closely with our director, new Israel Fellow, and exec team to provide fun and relevant Israeli and Jewish engagement, both to our own community and to McMaster as a whole. We will advocate and represent our Jewish voice, and reach out to other communities to work together to make Mac the welcoming place that it is. Our executive team is bigger than ever before, so we have the capacity to run an even wider array of programs to meet every student’s needs!

Hillel has a newly renovated office waiting for your visit, so come say hi! It’s really not that far of a schlep. I am beyond excited for this year (it’s going to be filled with fun and food) and I hope to see you at one of our events!
